Abstract: | String theory suggests that black hole microstates are quantum, horizon sized ‘fuzzballs’, rather than smooth geometries with
horizon. Radiation from fuzzballs can carry information and does not lead to information loss. But if we let a shell of matter
collapse then it creates a horizon, and it seems that subsequent radiation will lead to information loss. We argue that the resolution to this problem is that the shell can tunnel to the fuzzball configurations.
The amplitude for tunneling is small because we are relating two macroscopically different configurations, but the number
of states that we can tunnel to, given through the Bekenstein entropy, is very large. These small and large numbers can cancel
each other, making it possible for the shell to tunnel into fuzzball states before a significant amount of radiation has been
emitted. This offers a way to resolve the information paradox. |
